GEi. LOGAA'S DOCTORS
PLACED IN AN UNPLEASANT
PREDICAMENT
BY the Evidence OF the Use Of Mar.
cotics and tho Hasty Depart.
ure OF Dir. Hamilton.

dence is sccumula.ing to the effec.
that he was killed by his doctors. 1t
ia said that the Senator was treated
much against his OWE will With mar
cotics, which operated UPON his sys-
tenn like poison. One prominent
physician IN this city says that the
fact adm tied by DR.. Lincoln, one Of
Logan's physicians, that Logan could
be wakeped out OF his atupor was
presumptive evidence OF the use OF
narcotics. One rather peculiar fact ia
that Immediately after Logan's death
Dr.. Hamilton, another of the attend
ing physicians, left the city suddenly,
after having emphatically admonished
Major Tucker not 10 say one word
about the lease to any newspaper man.
DR.. Lincoln srsnuously denied that
any narcotics were ever administered
to the patient.
AFTER AN OFFICE.
1t is reported that Gan. G. Floyd
King, OF Louisiana, is on his way here
armed with the intention OF securing
the vacant Surveyor Generalship for
himself, although ii was given out a
short time ago that the place Was to be
given to Col. FluksT. No action has
yet been taken.
BUsINEss IN THE SENATE.
In the Senate tomorrow, after the
aiding OF the journal, Senator Cul.
lom will formally announce the death
Of his colleague, and the Senate will
adjourn as mark Of respect to his
memory.
Wednesday at 2 O'Clock, possibly
earlier, Senator Cullom will ask the
Senate to proceed to the consideration
OF the interstate commerce bill, and
there is general impression that the
measure will be taken up and form
the chief topic Of discussion there after
until it is disposed Of.
The unfinished business OF the Sem
ate is the bill providing for the estab-
lishment OF agricultural experiment
citations, while the bill to prohibit
members OF Congress from acting as
attorneys for railroads comes over
with the a. crued rights in long post.
p'ned special order. 1t is not improb.
able that these measures, esp scislly
the la ter, will command some portion
of teh morning hours OF the Senate,
and one or both may thus be disposed
OF during the week.
BUsINE6s IN THE HoUsR.
1t Is not expected that any appropri.
alton bill will be ready for co nsidera.
ton by the Senate this week. 1t ia
expected that the legislative week in
the House of representatives will be
consumed by the discus ion OF appro-
prlation bills aud tho measure report
cd from the Committee of Agriculture
and Labor. There are four appropria-
ton bills upon the calendar-the In.
dian, Military Academy, diplomatic
and consular and pension. None OF
these measures ia likely to give rise
to extended debate, except possibly
the diplomatic and consular bill.
Owing to its radical change, as COM
pared with former bills, and its in
crossed appropriations, this measure
may become an object OF attack.
Nearly all of the measures which
have been made epecial orders are
likely 10 be pressed for action at the
frs. opportunity that may offer when
the House ia not engaged in the cor
siderstion oil appropriation bills. In
addition to the bill for the creation OF
the Department Of Agriculture and
Labor, a ready menti oned, this ist in.
cludes The Dunn free ship bills, the
Pacific railroad bill, the Oklahoma
bill and the bill for the reorganization
of the Navy Department.
Toward the Ia ter part OF the weak
it 10 expected that the con ereos on
the electoral count bill will report an
egreemen. and request the House to
take final action, which will probably
be granted.
A CoMPARls9N or RAILROAD FREIGHTs,
Senator AldriCh, chairman of the
Sena Committee on Transport At on
Rontes to the Seaboard, authorizes the
publ cation Of the report of that CON-
mittee upon the 81 ject of railroad
frsights In the Uuited States aud in
other countries, the study of which,
for the purpose Of settling certain ues
tons pertaining to interstate com.
msIce, has long been in progress by
his committee. The appointment OF
a special Senate committee upon in.
tsrsinte commerce somewhat modified
the work originally mapped out by
the COMMITTEE on Transportation
Routes to the Seaboard, aud that COM
mittee decided not to take testimony
as was sulhor.z ID to do, but TO conduit
special line OF inquiry TO ascertain,
If possible, the relative progress of the
various grain producing countries.
The complete report makes 500
pages OF printed matter, and contains
many valuable tables and much in
formation on the subject of trans
poltstion gathered from nearly every
country in the world.
